Russ Calasant grew up in Niantic, CT working in local boatyards and on charter boats. By age twelve, Russ purchased his first boat: fast forward to today and about a dozen boats later, Russ travels between Beaufort and Hilton Head, SC as well as Savannah, GA on his Boston Whaler and lives aboard his Sea Ray with his wife Lisa and pup Ziggy in Port Royal, SC.
Russ enjoyed over thirty-five successful years in his sales consulting career with a Fortune-1000 company. Russ also has more than forty years of boating experience, including many trips and deliveries to the west coast of FL, to MA, and places in between. For the last twenty years, Russ has held a USCG Masters License, recently upgraded to 100 ton.
Most importantly Russ looks forward to building relationships and helping folks achieve or continue their dreams of boat ownership and all the great experiences it brings.
